2 hospitalized after stabbing fight at Fresno County plant nursery, deputies say
A stabbing investigation is underway in Fresno County after deputies say two people were hospitalized following a fight Sunday afternoon at a plant nursery near Central and Temperance avenues. According to ABC30, the violence happened at the Sago Rey Palms Plant Nursery on Central Avenue west of Temperance Avenue just before 4 p.m.
When Fresno County deputies arrived, they found two people suffering from stab wounds, according to the report. Both victims were taken to the hospital, but as of the latest public updates I found Sunday night, their conditions had not been released.
Authorities also said one person had been detained, but no arrests had been announced in the case as of the latest reporting. Deputies closed off the surrounding area to traffic while the investigation continued, and there was no public estimate for when roads would reopen.
Additional pickup reporting from McClatchy-linked Fresno Bee and Merced Sun-Star listings matched the same core facts and gave the location more specifically as the 6700 block of East Central Avenue. Those listings did not add a suspect name, booking detail, victim identification, or confirmed motive.
